btw - hilarity broke out at the Dr Who triv contest the other night where me and a friend were going head to head against a very po-faced questioner. as i recall;
Q: what was the name of the third doctor's futuristic vehicle?
Fr: What - me: the Whoople?
Q: No, the Hoople were a glam rock band.
Fr: Were they timelords? Me: No, that was the KLF! Fr: Wasn't Patsy Hearst in them? Me: No, Patsy was in Eastenders.
Q: (irritated). In any case, no - the futuristic vehicle driven by the third doctor was not the Hoople.
Me (laughing openly now) NOT the Hoople?
Fr: Betsy! Q:(sigh) The other one. Me: Bobbins!
Q: (icily) No - the futuristic vehicle driven by the third doctor was not Bobbins.
Me: Oh i think it was! Fr: Yeah, he's right.
Me (to the assembled witnesses) What do you lot think?
... when i got home i apologised to my little model Bessie but i think she understood it was in a good cause - and she's never been fond of the Whomobile anyway!
